Free Printable Animal Tracks Explorer ID Cards

We are a HUGE outdoorsy nature loving and geocaching family so searching for animals, their tracks, and even their scat is pretty normal for my kids! (One of our favorite books is Tracks, Scat, and Signs!) But I realize some kids need a little extra prompting to get outdoors or help properly identify animal tracks that they come across on a nature hike. These printable free printable animal tracks Explorer ID Cards will be a great reference when searching for animal prints on the trail! The best place to find animal tracks are on soft muddy areas or shortly after a fresh rain!

I HIGHLY recommend laminating these free printable cards with a simple at home laminator so that it will be water resistant and last longer outdoors. You can even use a hole punch and thread them onto a notebook ring. Stash them in a field bag along with any nature items or clues you come across! If you prefer a more digital version for identifying animal tracks consider the MyNature Animal Tracks app.

About Crystal

I'm the product of a family who never travelled and now I can't get enough! Please leave a comment or send me a message with some of your favorite lesser known places to visit - my bucket list in the USA is always expanding! My passion for travel motivated me to drag along my husband and 3 kids until now they are as eager as I am to hit the road! What should we visit near you?

This is so fun! Thanks for sharing! My kids will absolutely love these printables. I hope it’s ok, but I featured your post in my June Family Focus on getting kids outside and learning to love nature. Happy travels and many adventures to you! -Missy

Wondering if there’s any way you could make additional tracks? I’m making both my kids a Nature Bag for our Cottage Summer and there’s a lot of Moose, Beavers and Rabbits in our neighbourhood. We see these tracks quite often as well! (I’m in Northern Ontario)

Thanks so much for these! I’ve printed them out, laminated them and put them together for my daughter to take with us on our upcoming camping trip! I’ve also shared your printable with my readers. Very grateful for your work and beautiful cards!
